that'll do it !

So I take it we're clueless again and Roxy Music has been disregarded?

Would love Pulp to do the slot to be honest, 100% legendary enough and don't think i'd be more excited for anyone to do that slot more than them.

btw - name more than 6 Dolly or Lionel tunes.. 😜

I was thinking the same just yesterday> I'd hazard a guess before her Glastonbury appearance most people would have only been able to name 3 or 4 of her songs (9 to 5, I Will Always Love You, Jolene, Islands In The Stream) but that didn't stop it being a great show.

* I still think Michael McDonald/Doobie Bros should be in the mix..

Mind you, beyond What a Fool Believes, they've got bugger all as well 🙄 

You may well be being ironic, but I'll bite anyway....

Saw the Doobies a couple of years ago and the set was epic, would go down a storm..... especially if you include some Michael McDonald solo stuff. Many might not know these by name, but take a listen and if you were around, you'll know them:

Long Train Runnin', Listen to the Music, China Grove, You Belong To Me, Little Darling (I Need You), Minute By Minute, What A Fool Believes (as mentioned), Sweet Freedom, Yah Mo Be There, I Keep Forgettin', On My Own.... (good opportunities for some guest vocal appearances there too for extra vibes)

And all the Doobie stuff is very funky and accessible, it'd be a blast, I'd love it for sure

Ironic gives me far too much respect.. Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit..

Damn! I should have used I Keep Forgettin'.... (What a Fool Believes just sounds rude)

I think it would be a remarkable booking..

Oooooo

I saw some Eurythmic thing on a music tv channel over the Xmas period. They’ve got a stack of great tunes that would make a brilliant set. 
Worthy.

I don't know may of them, but I dislike those I'm familiar with, so I'd be happy to go to another stage 😉

Thinking it must be a female legend now, to counter the (unfair) press that's gonna come from three males headliners. 

Would also make sense why they've held onto it as well.

Brings out the rest of Fleetwood Mac for the encore, screams "WE'RE NEXT YEAR'S HEADLINERS!!" Half way through The Chain. Walks off to crowd pandemonium. Perfect.

That's easy to answer - because Here Comes The Rain Again and Who's That Girl aside, I'd forgotten about all the others.

Also. 'Never Gonna Cry Again'

Madonna is a bit too big and expensive for this right

[CaledonianGonzo]

Right.

But just imagine.....

I can imagine it well.

40 dancers on stage for the first 10 minutes.

Madonnna eventually walks out, and starts singing. Sort of.

Nobody knows the song.

Wait - eventually someone is able to make out some of the lyrics. We do know the song, it's just the arrangement is unrecognisable.

And repeat for the rest of the set.

Is there anything stopping her doing an extended Legends slot? Logistically i mean. Could be one way around it.

Yep way too big. She should be number 1 person who hasn't headlined but should. I expect that they have been trying desperately to make that happen.

madge will only do it to try and restore a bit of credibility for herself.

I think they’ll have been asking for years. There were rumours Madge was approached to headline 2019 and she’s an act I’m pretty sure they’d drop everything to book if she was interested. Madonna at Glastonbury would be a must see but really could go either way.
